Wind Lap Lambert Academic Publishing Wind Assessment of Egypt Paperback

Egypt has been known to rely mainly on oil and natural gas in all of its energy-related activities. Therefore, the rapid rise in energy demand and the depletion of fossil fuels pose a major challenge to the development of Egypt's national economy. It is therefore now necessary to focus on renewable energy sources to supply as much energy as possible, save limited fuel resources and the emissions of greenhouse gases. Egypt has arisen as the Middle East's and Africa's global leader in the use of wind energy for electricity generation in recent years. Egypt has some of the greatest wind resources in the Middle East and North Africa area. This research represents the first wind energy potential assessment that covers major provinces in Egypt.
